Great value, free coffee,laundry and a well stocked grocery for bike travelers. Cafe across the street was excellent!
What a cool, unexpected find! This is why I love traveling and road tripping! Needed gas and stumbled upon this place. The old gas pumps are cool and so was the store and the men inside were super nice. Bought a sweet shirt and marked this for the next time I'm out this way!
The rooms were exceptionally clean, the owners were informative and extremely accommodating. The store where the lodging is located is very well stocked for cyclists, backpackers, and campers. Great place to stop on a road trip.
Stayed at Ovando Inn for a few nights while in the area for business. Clean rooms with comfortable bedding & pillows, excellent location and extremely friendly service by Fred! Would definitely recommend!
